Frequently Asked Questions
What is accounting for small business?
Small business accounting covers everything from record-keeping and financial reports to tax compliance and strategic financial decision making. In short, it’s how you stay on top of your numbers and minimise unnecessary expenses along the way.
If you run your own business, having an accountant isn’t optional, it’s foundational for growth, sustainability and success.
When should I hire an accountant?
You might think you don’t need an accountant until your net worth is higher or your business is ‘successful’, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. You should be seeking an accountant much earlier than you think.
If you’re after individual tax advice, or are in the beginning stages of purchasing or setting up your own business, it’s never too early to use an accountant.
Accountants have extensive knowledge and experience in small business accounting, tax obligations and identifying opportunities that you may otherwise be missing out on.
Do I need an accountant if I use Xero?
Short answer, yes.
Xero is an extremely useful cloud accounting solution, especially for small and medium business owners. Xero simplifies accounting and allows us to offer deeper insights into your business’ day-to-day. But, it doesn’t replace an accountant’s judgement.
Software can tell you what happened in your business, but an accountant interprets it, assesses your tax obligations and makes sure your business is compliant and on track for growth.
As a Xero Gold Partner, we can also help you get more value out of the platform itself.
If you’re not yet using an accounting software for your business and you’re wondering if Xero is right for you, talk to us!
What is the difference between a bookkeeper and a CPA?
A bookkeeper records daily financial transactions, maintains ledgers and ensures accurate financial records.
A Certified Practicing Accountant (CPA) has undergone rigorous exams, licencing and extensive education. They specialise in tax advice, compliance, financial management and strategic business advisory.
While both deal with finances, their roles and expertise differ significantly.
Do I need a bookkeeper if I have an accountant?
A bookkeeper manages your day to day transactions, while an accountant provides strategic tax and financial advice.
While we don’t offer in-house bookkeeping, we work closely with a handful of trusted bookkeepers. The two roles overlap a little, but have distinct roles and service offerings.
Having both covers your business from every angle, ensuring comprehensive financial management and strategic planning, and giving you the best chance for financial success.
